| Noise and vibration can be controlled in | | | | that impact. |
| various ways, including blocking, absorbing, | | | | |
| isolating and damping the noise source. The | | | | Whether the environment producing the noise |
| dictionary defines damping as the dissipation | | | | is nautical, electrical, computer-related, |
| of energy by conversion to heat. Because | | | | aeronautical, or business-machine-applicable, |
| rubber has such a low damping factor, it is | | | | rubber molding can eradicate the offending |
| one of the best materials for noise and | | | | sound and vibration. When considering a |
| vibration control. Thats why rubber molding | | | | rubber molding noise and vibration solution, |
| is an effective means of controlling noise, | | | | look for a line of isolators and mounts that |
| vibration and shock. | | | | come in a variety of styles and sizes. From |
| | | | one pound to one ton, the right type of mount |
| How exactly does damping with rubber molding | | | | for your application is vital. Also, keep in |
| work? By reducing resonant vibration, it | | | | mind that the thicker the damping material |
| effectively mitigates both structural and | | | | is, the more noise and vibration it will |
| impact noise. In effect, it produces a | | | | control. |
| reduction in the inaudible sounds that are | | | | |
| carried by structural surfaces. | | | | No matter what the source of your vibration |
| | | | isolation problem, if you keep these |
| If these sounds are inaudible, why do they | | | | recommendations in mind, the noise, vibration |
| need to be reduced? Because at resonance | | | | and shock youre currently contending with can |
